Implement a function that returns a new object after squashing the input object into a single level of depth where nested keys are "squashed" together with a period delimiter (.
).
const object = {a: 5,b: 6,c: {f: 9,g: {m: 17,n: 3,},},};squashObject(object); // { a: 5, b: 6, 'c.f': 9, 'c.g.m': 17, 'c.g.n': 3 }
Any keys with null-ish values (null
and undefined
) are still included in the returned object.
const object = {a: { b: null, c: undefined },};squashObject(object); // { 'a.b': null, 'a.c': undefined }
It should also work with properties that have arrays as the value:
const object = { a: { b: [1, 2, 3], c: ['foo'] } };squashObject(object); // { 'a.b.0': 1, 'a.b.1': 2, 'a.b.2': 3, 'a.c.0': 'foo' }
Empty keys should be treated as if that "layer" doesn't exist.
const object = {foo: {'': { '': 1, bar: 2 },},};squashObject(object); // { foo: 1, 'foo.bar': 2 }
